A thermostat you can set on a schedule, change from your phone, and hear from when the house gets too hot or too cold — in the same app as the rest of your system.
In a Valley summer the AC is the hardest-working thing in the house. A smart thermostat lets you run it on your terms instead of leaving it cranked all day or coming home to an oven.
Leave the house a few degrees warmer while nobody is there, then bring it down from your phone before you leave work. By the time you pull into the driveway, it is comfortable inside.
Warmer while you are at work, cooler for dinner, just right for sleeping. The thermostat follows the schedule you set, and you can change it any day the routine changes.
If the AC quits in August or the house drops too low on a cold night, you get an alert on your phone. That matters for the dog at home alone, and for a winter-Texan house sitting empty all summer.
The thermostat sits in the one app with the rest of your system, so arming the alarm, locking the back door and easing off the AC when you leave can all happen together.
Raise it, lower it or switch modes from anywhere you have a signal.
The house follows your week without anyone touching the wall.
A notification when the house gets hotter or colder than you allow.
Almost any house in the Valley can use one. These are the situations where people notice it most.
Stop running the AC hard for a house nobody is in.
Know the house is still cool for the dog while you are out.
Watch the temperature of an empty house from up north.
Hear about it if a hard freeze pulls the house too low.

Most central AC and heat systems can take one, but it depends on the equipment and the wiring at the wall. We check both on the walk-through and tell you plainly if yours is a problem.
We will not promise a number. What we can say is that you stop cooling an empty house by accident, and you can see and change the settings from anywhere. What that does to your bill depends on your house and your habits.
Yes. The thermostat works like a normal one at the wall. The app is an extra way to reach it, not the only way.
The thermostat keeps running the schedule it already has, and you can still adjust it at the wall. You lose the phone control until the connection comes back.
It can alert you when the house gets hotter or colder than a limit you set. It does not diagnose the AC, but a rising temperature is often the first sign something is wrong.
That is one of the best uses for it. You can keep an eye on the house temperature from up north all summer and get an alert if something changes.
